Problema Possibile causa Soluzione
L'apparecchio emette
un forte rumore di
pompaggio.
Dalla piastra fuoriescono
goccioline d'acqua.
4
I tessuti risultano lucidi
o sull'indumento resta
6 75
un'impronta del ferro.
Il serbatoio dell'acqua è
vuoto.
Quando utilizzate la
funzione vapore per la
prima volta o se è rimasta
inutilizzata per un periodo
prolungato, il vapore
diventa acqua all'interno del
tubo essibile.
La supercie da stirare era
irregolare, come nel caso di
una cucitura o di una piega
sull'indumento.
Riempite il serbatoio di acqua e premete
il pulsante del vapore no a quando il
rumore di pompaggio non si attenua e il
vapore non inizia a fuoriuscire dalla piastra.
Si tratta di un fenomeno del tutto normale.
Allontanate il ferro dal capo e premete
il pulsante del vapore. Attendete no a
quando dalla piastra uscirà vapore invece
di acqua.
La tecnologia PerfectCare è sicura su tutti i
capi. L'eetto lucido o l'impronta non sono
permanenti e scompaiono dopo il lavaggio
dell'indumento. Evitate di stirare su cuciture
o pieghe oppure posizionate un panno
di cotone sull'area da stirare per evitare
impronte.

Il copriasse si bagna o
sono presenti goccioline
d'acqua sull'indumento o
sul pavimento durante la
stiratura.
Non è presente suciente
feltro nel rivestimento
dell'asse da stiro.
Il vapore si è condensato
sul copriasse dopo una
sessione di stiratura
prolungata.
Disponete di un copriasse
che non è stato progettato
per sopportare vapore
ad alte temperature
come quello prodotto
dall'apparecchio.
Mettete uno strato aggiuntivo di feltro
sotto il rivestimento dell'asse da stiro.
Sostituite il copriasse se il materiale in
schiuma o il feltro risulta consumato.
Posizionate uno strato aggiuntivo di
materiale in feltro sotto la copertura
dell'asse per prevenire la condensa
sull'asse stessa.

Exclusive technology from Philips
OptimalTEMP technology
The OptimalTEMP technology enables you to iron all types of ironable fabrics, in any order, without
adjusting the iron temperature and without sorting your garments.
It is safe to just rest the hot soleplate directly on the ironing board (Fig. 2) without putting back to the
iron platform. This will help reduce the stress on your wrist.
This iron has been approved by The Woolmark Company
Pty Ltd for the ironing of wool-only products, provided that
the garments are ironed according to the instructions on the
garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this
iron. R1603. The Woolmark symbol is a certication mark in
many countries.
Compact ProVelocity Technology
This technology delivers continuous steam that penetrates deeply to remove creases easily. At the
same time, it keeps the appliance more compact and lighter than traditional steam generators, for
easier storage (Fig. 3).
Preparing for use
Type of water to use
Only use one of the two water types mentioned (Fig. 4):
- Demineralized, bottled water. You can buy this in the supermarket.
- Descaled water from the IronCare water descale lter jug (GC024). To purchase the IronCare water

English
Warning: Do not use tap water, boiled water, perfumed water, water from the tumble
dryer, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or
other chemicals, as they may cause water spitting, brown staining or damage to your
appliance.
